Some government publication says federal employees won't get iPhones anytime soon. Boo friggin hoo. See here. Losers waiting on line in New York have started their own blog to chronicle their loserhood. See here. The soon-to-be-defunct Business 2.0 reports that the iPhone marketing campaign will be studied in business schools for years to come. See here. TechNewsWorld [this can't be real, Ed] prints a rehash of all of Apple's past flops, like the Newton and the Cube. See here. And the ever-reliable SFGate has a story about idiots who are being paid to wait in line. See here. Some blogger says eBooks are a perfect fit for the iPhone and that we could kill Sony in that market. See here. Wired (our old pals) report that the iPhone has thrown the wireless industry into chaos and confusion and forced them to admit that they don't have a clue about what customers want. See here.

Personally, the ebook thing does interest me. When I was forced to give up my Treo for a Blackberry, I missed the books, since they're usually cheaper than the hardback/paperback analog, and the Treo 650's screen was good enough to read off of.
If Apple either does their own eBook line or just buys into the eReader.com line up, then I'd be one step closer to an iPhone (though still $600 away).
Because people were queing days in advance for the Newton and Cube, right?
Now it's a great marketing campaign but it's also an 'insanely great' (if flawed) product to market.
Wait for the reverse marketing - OS X, the iPhone operating system. Also available on Mac.
